Naming Git

(last updated

Over the past week or so, I’ve been working on learning how to use Git for managing my software development. One of my goals is to use Git to manage a development version of my site on my local computer so I can test large changes before I make them live (more information on doing this will be available at some point). Right now I’m still learning about it, but I did find this neat little quote on the Wikipedia page:

Torvalds has quipped about the name git, which is British English slang roughly equivalent to “unpleasant person”. Torvalds said: “I’m an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First ‘Linux’, now ‘git’.”
